PREVENTING THEATRE PAylcs.

Amidst all the discussions to which the
recent fatal fire in the thea1er at Exeter
has given rise, it is noteworthy that few
u any practical suggestions have been
made towards preventing a repetition Of
similar calamities in structures already
existing Directions for the guidance of
architects for future places OF amusement
have been plentiful; but hints for the i'm
proyementof present conditions in the
buildings which row exist have, for the
most part. consisted merely in advice to
the audience to keep cool. If audiences
would do this, it would be an excellent
thing better, perhaps, than al the APP
planes for safety that might be devised
but there is no principle in human econ.
omy more certain than that people must
be protected against themselves, Il will
not be sufficient, therefore, 20 educate
theatre eoers into the belief that if they
behave nationally in the event of fire
they are practically safe. In the actual
presence OF danger, theory is the first
thing to be thrown to the winds.
One suggestion, however. is made ~

subject which seems D. practical d sim.

THE SPINNING WHEEL.

She breaks the thread with angry twang,
Just as II her touch a harpstring rang
And keyed to the quaint old song she sang.
That came to a halt on her cherry lip
While she tied knot that never could slip
And thought Of another when her ship
All laden with dreams In splendid .guise-
Should sail right out OF the azure skies
And lover bring with great brown eyes,
All, broad the day, but her work was done
Two runs by reel. She had twisted and spun
Her two score knots by set OF SUM-
With her one, two. three. the wheel beside,
And the three, two, one. of the backward
glide
SO to and fro In calico pride
TIL the bees went home and the daytime
died.
Her apron white as the white sea foam,
She gathered the wealth of her velvet
And rallied i. in with a tall back comb
She crushed the dews with her naked feet
The track of the sun was golden street,
The grass was cool and the air was sweet.
The girl gazed up at the mackerel sky,
And 1t looked like pattern lifted high,
But she never dreamed OF angels nigh.
And she spoke right on: "Do Just see there
What blue and white for the clouded pair,
I'm going to knit for my Sunday wear"
The wheel Is dead, and the bees are gone,
And the girl is dressed in silvery lawn,
And her feet are shOd in goldea dawn.
Oh, brow that the old time morning kissed
Good night, my girl of the double and twist
oh, barefoot vis0n! Vanishing mist!

Mesquit Grass.

People engaged in stock-raising in
California are having ominous forebod.
ings as to what they will do for forage
plants. The native grasses are gradually
becoming of less and less value. owing
to the constant pas,urage. The hills,
where stock formerly kept fat the year
round feeding on wild oats, are now be-.
coming barren. The oats, except in
protected places, have disappeared, and
the bunch grass has become scarce.
This has for years been o matter of
much concern. 1t is evident that other
forage plants must be found than the
native grasses. Alfalfa cannot well be
excelled, but like citrus trees, it is a
thirsty plant, not doing well unless there
is a great deal of moisture. What is
needed is forage plant for the hills and
plains where irrigation is impraoticable.
The Times is advised that mesquit grass,
native of Texas. gives promise of
supplying this need in q considerable
measure. That is q hardy plant, grow.
ing ON dry plains. 1t has been intro.
duced as an experiment in Napa and
Sonoma counties, possibly Others. So
far the reports have been quite favor.
able. 1t forms heavy sod, is coarse
but succulent grass, and the stock soon
become fond Of it. 1t deserves more
attention than it has SO far received
